I have been riding Jazz for nearly 4 years and had him on full loan for most of this time. I posted a while back how much he's worth (http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=249801) but decided that I couldn't really afford to buy him, even though his owner had dropped the price a bit.
Last year (practically a year to the day!) I moved Jazz and my pony from Dorset to a rented field and stables and have had soooo much fun. Done a lot more riding and feel so much happier with them there. Little fat pony is actually becoming fit!!!
Anyway.
On Friday evening, I booked a nearby indoor arena for an hour, to see how Jazz and Thunder would react and so that the ponies could do some jumping and I could do some flatwork with Jazz. I invited Jazzy's owner to come and watch and she said he was looking fab - very pleased with him.
A few weeks ago, Jazz had his vaccination booster but I didn't have his passport (owner kept it which was fine) so owner gave me the passport to get the vaccination signed off. She said that he was to stay in her name but at least I could transport him etc. if I wanted to compete him more easily.
Until.
I went to her house yesterday to drop off my vast collection of myler bits to borrow on her other horse and she said that she is going to give Jazz to me
She said it's an early Christmas present and a thank you for getting her grandson through his science exam (co-incidentally I teach him at work). I really do love Jazz and his owner (now ex-owner) said it's so clear that we have got a good relationship and that we trust each other.
She said to change the ownership details in his passport and he's ALL MINE
It's suuuuuch a compliment as his ex-owner keeps her horses for life but she says that she knows he'll always have a good home with me and that he's better off in work and well loved and looked after than just as a (very large) field ornament!
I just can't believe it
